big ass 1200sqft metal building for $14,000. i see 900sqft one for $10,000. do you think it is possible to live in this thing? whether in secret or using tricks like "temporary residency for under construction homes" that allow you to live in it so long as at least one habitable room exists in it. then you would gradually make progress over the coming years turning it into a barndominium. you may say, "what about winter/summer"? first off, its a southern state, secondly, there are ways, temperature isnt a problem to me.
>>85434262temperature will be a problem, as well as kitchen and bathroom
>>85434262Only if you want to bake during the summer an freeze during the winter. You would be better off living in a camper trailer.
>>85434262You'll need land to put it on and a concrete pad for it, the depth of which may be subject to local regulations, and of course there may be other restrictions on the types of buildings you're allowed to live in depending on the state and locality. You'll also need to hook it up to utilities; power generally isn't bad, but water and sewage can get expensive (tens of thousands of dollars), and will depend on if you're hooking up to town water and sewage or getting a well (drilled, not dug; trust me) and septic tank. Other anons have already mentioned temperature, so I won't harp on that too much, but just say that even if you can condition that air to where it's tolerable, that's going to contribute significantly to your power bill. It'll be the single biggest driver of it.
The main thing in a house are waterworks. Rest can be worked around but unless you get some sort of plumbing it's not habitable.

>>85434262That's how much the kit costs. You'll be spending more than that for the labor of having it put together.
